In the first season of "Rhoda", there's an episode in which Joe's business is dying, while Rhoda's is thriving (and she gives him $2,000 to help him out). Overall, it's a stupid episode (as though the writers had no idea what to do with the characters that week), but I noticed one major flub...'

It's the Christmas season, and Rhoda and Brenda wonder what to get "Ma" for Christmas. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Did the writers forget the family is Jewish, which means she doesn't celebrate Christmas? (They decide on a gift certificate to Elizabeth Arden, for one of those new 'full days at the spa'....VERY 1970s!!!!).
